Synopsis: | Dawn of Awareness centers on a character, Ibukun, who was sponsored by his community to rise from a poor background and relative anonymity to the front line in governance. However, like many of our contemporary representatives in positions of power, in Nigeria/Africa, he becomes enamoured of the prospects of wealth and throws away the credibility that brought him into the limelight in the first instance. He tricks the people but they got him eventually and promptly, Kabiesi, restores ethical harmony in the community. | |||||

A Professor in his Department and the Dean of Students' Affairs become his confidants and vital instrument of panacea, who design strategies for the arrest of the cultists and hence the freedom of Abu and other innocent students. | |||||
